The Constitutional Convention is pro gressing slowly yet wisely and cautious Jy in the work before it. In tho two weeks they have been in session none of the more important questions have Leon finally disposed of save the elec tive- franchise and tho militia. The former has been changed in tho timo of residence for qualification of voters, to one year in the State and six months in the county. Ihe terms of tho latter do not materially differ from thoso of tho old Constitution. The per diem has been fixed at $4 per day, and mileage at ten cents per mile, and it is under stood this will bo tbo amount allowed members of the Legislature. The con vention by unanimous voto determined to submit the Constitution when framed to the people for ratification. A report has been made by one of tho commit tees favoring the abolition of the Med ical, Agricultural and Geological Bu' leans’. There is a powerful number of ordinances, amendments, eto., before tbe vatious committees, which it wiil take timo to dispose of. and the mcm hers seem disposed to make their work perfect as they progress, and the people have every reason to expect that the changes mude will be such as will meet the present wants and necessities of tho country. Tho columns of our daily exchanges havn fairly overflowed this week with news from the great railroad strike in Maryland and Pennsylvania. We print in this issue a telegraphic account of the awful riot at Pittsburgh, the scenes ofbloodsbed, plunder, and incendiarism being ahead of anything perhaps before witnessed in tho United States. Tho strike was caused by a reduction of the wages of the employes of tho leading roads of those States and the feeling of sympathy spreading among tho work ingmen of various classes has engender., ed a dissatisfaction productive of the most lamentably damaging results. It is the undoubted convictions of the wisest of our public men that the great troubles arise from the effects the un wise resumption policy of the govern ment is having upon the industries of tho country, and the laboring man’s rights being continually trampled upon is beginning to assort itself in a some what dangerous form. An early repeal of tho resumption act will be strongly urged upon Congress which will doubt less assemble at an early day. Tho strikers themselves, as a general thing, it seems, are vory orderly in their man ners, but their sympathizers among the lower classes of humanity incite trouble in most instances to get opportunities lor plunder. Yet the country is in nat urally a discontented attitude, and a speody remedy may alone prevent more troublq and of a more serious charac ter, OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. Wasiiington, I). 0- July 23,1877. Editor Calhoun dimes : Of the strikes and riots at Martins burg, Cumberland, Baltimore, Pitts burg and other points, it is useless for me to give details, as you will have them by telegraph before this reaches vou. Their extent is unprecedented in this country, and many fear that the worst is yet to come. The immediate losses of property to railroad compauic3, vviSle large, and of life though consid erable, are not what causes the groatost uneasiness. If the enormous corpora tions of tho country which conduct half its business, can no longer furnish pay upon which their employes can Hvq, wo have a condition of things which gives no hopo of a return to bet ter times, and which, at least, will re quire years to coirect. The open vio lence of the past few days cannot of course continue long,' but while its cause remain we shall sleep upon n volcano, and an eruption may occur at any time in the most unexpected place. There was a temporary fear of dan ger to the Treasury here, but that has present, vta Oioujt■! f “pp ,t r c, 1 t <( 1 1. .jo Potomac was alivo with pleasure seek ers. The arrival of Genera) Hancock at Baltimore had an excellent effect. Gen eral Hancock, both by reason of the popular regard for him, and because he is the most clear headed and energetic of our high officers, was the fittest of men fur the emergency, lie will have command of the troops in Maryland, V. T cst Virginia and Pennsylvania, and if Ohio, New Jersey and New l r ork should neel Federal troops, of th se also. What effect tluse great troubles may hnye on the politics of the country cau not, of course, be told. That they will produco an immediate chango in the specie resumption polny of tbo admin istration is not likely, for even the fear of a political defeat in Ohio had al ready caused Mr. Hayes to announce a change in his own convictions. The subject of calling Congress to gether at once was much discussed yes., terday. Mr. FJaycs and his cabinet evidently wishing to share tho respon sibility with tho Legislative branch of tho government. Some months ago several prominent gentlemen made an attempt—apparent ly an honest one —to break up gamb ling hero. The attempt to convict any gambler here was a failure, the prose, cutors alleging, because the detectives of the city were in league with them, and bull-dozed the witnesses. Tho on ly results of tho raids were theso The principal prosecutor, Mr# Nuntagh, of tho Republican, lost Federal offico, and John A. Grow, his counsel, was yeßteiday arrested by the detectives on a charge of forgery. Avery strong effort will bo made next winter to revive and make practi cal tho eight hour law. This is talked of by many men familiar with the ways of Congress and who know many of its members. The current disturbance among laboring men seems to have only brought this fact to public notice, as many Congressmen bad already decided to call attention.to the subject. The presenco here of Sargeant-at arms Thompson had tho effect of draw ing attention once more to the Speak ership of the House of Representatives. Unless existing troubles outside of pol itics shall materially effect political af fairs there is now hardly a chance to elect anybody but Randall. He seems to have had the lead at the first, and to have gained steadily. A rumor was around town to-day that Secretary Sherman would resign as soou as the railroad troubles through cut the country were over ; or, if they continued long, then he would resign in the midst of them. There is more appearance of probability to this than any other reported cabinet change un der this administration. Very truly yours, Reno. The Railroad Riot at Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, July 22.—The crisis of the railway strike of this city was reached yesterday afternoon about five o’cloek, when the Philadelphia troops, who had been sent here to suppress the strikers, fired upon the crowd. The terribly fatal effects of the shots firod* by the troops exasperated tho citizens as well as the strikers, and in less than an hour thousands of workingmen from the rolling-mills, coal mines and various manufacturing establishments hurried to the scene of tho conflict, determined to have revenge on the troops and railroad officials. It was stated that General Pearson, commander of the Sixth Di vision of the State Guards, had direct ed tho troops to lire, before any resist ance had been made ; and the fact that many of thoso killed aud wounded had gathered ou the hillside merely as spec* • f-.tors served to increase tho bitterness 0! tho crowd. By 8 o’clock in the evening, mobs were moving about the city iu various directions, sacking stores to secure arms, breaking into the armories of the military companies and preparing them selves to execute the threats freely ex pressed of massacreing the entire Phil adelphia company. By this time the military had withdrawn from the rail way crossing at Twenty-eighth street, where tho first conflict took place. They were ordered to one of the ro and-houses where they could find better protec* tion. About ten o’clock in the evening, a mob numbering several thousand had congregated about the round house.— They had previously cap'ured the guns belonging to Hutchinson’s battery, a lo cal organization, and planted them so as to command the round-houses. Sev eral solid shots were fired at the build ing, and a breach made in the walls ; but when the infuriated mob attempted to rush into the building, the military were ordered to fire. The volley of musketry whijh followed, and the ru mor that the Gatling guns of the com mand were being brought into requisi tion caused a panic, and (he mob fled precipitately for sovoral squares, the military meanwhile keeping up a fusi# lade. The rioters, however, were flock ing to their assistance, and they return ed to the attack. Finding it difficult to dislodge the military from (he build ing, they resolved to burn (hem out. An order to this effect was issued, and it was carried into execution withja fiendish alacrity by the rioters. Asa consequence of the blockade, which had existed for tw> days, the sidewalks in the outer depot yards, as well as those extending eastward some three or four miles, were crowded with freight cars filled with grain, products and marchau -1 disc of j; kinds ; bdo which a num weTe piled up in the mass. While a portion of the mob surrounded the building iu which the military had tak en refuge, large bodies proceeded o set fire to the oil cars, and in a moment the huge volumes of blaok suiock which tolled upward*, followed by lurid flames reaching out in every direction, told that the work of destruction had com menced. The sight of the flames seem ed to literally craze the rioters, some of whom rushed wildly about with flaming torches iu their hands, applying them to the ears indiscriminately. An alarm was sounded, and the department promptly respond but the rioters, who had complete control of the city, refused to permit them to make any ef fort to extinguish the flames. They said they were determined to destroy the railway company’s property, but would do no injury to that belonging to private citizens. They kept their words, too ; and when a lumber pile belonging to a citizen took fire the riot ers themselves turned in and helped to extinguish the flames, and remove the lumber to a safo place. Train after tiain was fired by the crowd, but the oars were so far distant from tho round house that the heat did not seriously affect tho military, although their posi tion ws one of peril. Finally a large party of strikers cap turod a car filled with coke, which they ran from the Allegheny Valley railway track to a siding connecting with the Pennsylvania railroad. They then procured large quantities of pe troleum oil, and, pouring it over tho coke, ignited the materials. In a very few moments the car was a mass of fire, and was then pushed along the track and forced against the round-house.— Tho building was soon ignited, and the soldiers were now compelled to prepare to fight their way out through the fren zied mass of humanity clamoring for their blood. The building did not burn as rapidly as desired ; and the mob, bent on revenge, rushed out the road and sent burning trains toward the doomed buildings. From midnight un til 5 o’clock this morning the main of forts of tho crowd were diiected to firing the buildings aud cars, but about half an hour later, the mob which had been besieging the military left, for some unexplained reason. This affurd ed the tioops, who were in actual dan ger of being roasted alivo, an opportu. nity to emerge from the building, and they succeeded in reaching Liberty street in a very few moments. They quickly formed in line, aud marched up to Thirty-third street, and thence to Pennsylvania avenue and Butler street. Their objective point was the United States arsenal, on Butler street, where they expected to obtain shelter. While turning into Butler street, however, the leaders of the mob had discovered their letreat, and fully oue thousand men, fully armed and supplied with ammu nition, started in pursuit. Somo of the troops fired at citizens, either acci dentally or intentionally, as they were moved along, and this added fury to the cry for revenge. When they reach ed the arsenal, the commander refused to admit them. He said he had but ten men, and would bo powerless to hold the place if the mob should at' tack it. He consented to take care of the wounded, and they were according ly carried into the hospital. The main body of the troops continued their march out Butler street, a fusilade be ing kept up on them by the mob as they moved forward. The shots fired killed one of the soldiers before they reached the arsenal, and nearly oppo site tho cemetery gate, fully a mile above the arsenal, two others were kill ed, and were lying on the sidewalk They continued their flight and crossed over to the North side of the Alleghe ny river, on tho Sharpsburg bridge, the mob following them as rapidly as pos sible. After reaching the north side the troops scattered, and in this way the mob was scattered into very small bodies. In the meantime the city wa3 in a state of anarchy. Thousands who had not joined in the pursuit of the fleeing troops gathered about the burning buildings and trains, and assisted in spreading the flames wherever they had not been applied. By 7 o’clock the fire had extended from Millvale station to Twentieth street aud enveloped han dreds of cars. Tho extensive machine shops, two round-houses, the depot, and the office of the Union Transfer Com pany, the blacksmith shops, the store houses, and numerous buildings mak ing up the terminal facilities of this mammoth corporation. In tho round houses were 125 locomotives, all first, class, which had been housed in conse. quence of the strike. These were to.* tally destroyed. But even the immense loss which will be sustained in this item alone is but a trifle in the aggregate damage done. The scenes transpiring on Liberty street aloDg the line of which the tracks of the railroad run, simply beggars de* scription, While hundreds were en gaged iu firing the cars and making certain of the destruction of the valu’ able buildings at the outer depot, thou sands of men, women and children en„ gaged in pillaging the cars, aud then ihe contents would be thrown out and carried off by those bent on profiting by the reign of terror existing. The street was almost completely blockaded by persons laboring to carry off the plunder they had gathered together.— In hundreds of instances wagons were pressed into service to enable the thieves to get away with their goods. Mayor McCarthy, early in the day, endeavored to stop the pillage, but the handful of men at his command were unable to control tho crowd, who were desperate in their anxiety to secure goods. At one time the pillage was qhecked, but the mob fired the cars, and then pro ceeded with the work of destruction. — It is impossible) to form any idea of the amount of goods stolen, but hundreds of thousands of dollars will not cover the loss. Some of the seeues, notwithr standing the terror which seemed to paralyze peaceable and orderly citizens, were ludicrous in the highest degrees ; and no ono seemed to ei-joy them with a greater zest, than tho e engaged in the ,vli; rUrder. Here a brnwnv wo man -.oulu L -' seen harrying away with pairs of white kid slippers tinder her arms. Another carrying an infant would be rolling a barrel of flour aloDg the sidewalk, using her feet as the pro pelling power. Here was a man push ing a wheelbarrow loaded with white lead. Boys hurried through the crowds with large-sized familv Bibles as their share of tho plunder, while scores of females utilized aprons and dresses to carry flour, eggs, dry goods, etc. Bun dles of umbrellas, fancy parasols, hams, bacon, leaf lard, calico, blankets, laces, and four were mixed together in the arms of robust men, or carried on has tily constructed handbarrows. At 11 o’clock in the morning it be came apparent that something must bo done to ch“ck the mob ; and a number of citiz ms hurriedly prepared notices calling a mass mooting of citizens at the old City Hall to take measures to prevont the further destruction of prop erty. The meeting was held at noon, and a large number of leading citizens responded to the call. It was deoided to appoint a oommitte consisting of Bishop Trigg, of the Catholio church, James Parke, Jr., Dr. E. Donnallj, James J. Bennett, and Dr. S. F. Seo vell, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, to havo a conference with the rioters, while another committee was appointed to wait on the railroad au thorities to ascertain what course they intended to pursue, or to suggest a com promise that would put au end to the disorder existing. Tho meeting then adjourn'd to meet at 4 o’clock in tho aftornoon. The committee to wait on the rioters failed to induce them to refrain from further destruction of property j and the railway authorities could not ba found. From the time the military de parted up to 3 o’clock in tho afternoon no effort had been made to check tho riot, other than the meeting of citizens referred to. The mob worked very quietly, and it was a noticeable fact that few of tho railroad employes were engaged in the work of destruction. — Hero and there a man who had been discharged might be seen heading a crowd, but generally the ringleaders were men who had never been employ ed on any railway. Many half.grown boys were foremost in the woik of de vastation, and vied with tho older ones in their eflorts. The operations were carried on very quietly ; and the multi tude of men, women and children who filled the streets and occupied positions on the hillside south of tho railway looked on with astonishment, while tho destruction of property continued. Tho railroad buildings destroyed were as follows ; Two roundhouses. One machine shop. The Superintendent’s office. Tho car repair shop. The blacksmith shop. Three or four oil houses. The Union Transfer depot and of" fi< ea. The Pullman Car Company’s laundry and offices. Tho dispatcher’s offioo. The powder-house. The Union depot and hotel. The Pan Handle railroad engine house, general office and freight depot. The freight depot of the Adams Ex press Company. About five o’clock the fire from the Union depot communicated to the immense grain elevator, corner of Grant and Washington streets. This w T as built of huge timbers aud covered with slate. It contained a large quantity of grain. The destruction of these build ings seemed to gratify the rioters, as they began to disperse while they were burning. Most of those who composed the crowd loaded themsolves down with plunder and wended their way home ward. %m GEORGIA, Gordon County. S\LLIE EVANS, wife of Janies I.
